  • Surafend

    Absolutely have loved each and every series thus far.

    Listening to Surafend, reinforces to me that the British Empire have a lot to answer for in regards to the area of Palestine, what was committed in World War 1 and its aftermath. Absolutely horrendous and abhorrent language used in the British description of the indigenous inhabitants. No wonder whats happening in Gaza is still continuing to this day.

  • Fascinating

    Just finishing binging the Skase episodes. Fascinating, nostalgic and extremely well presented. Who can ever forget the grainy images of Skase in his wheelchair and fake oxygen mask. A must listen.

  • Skase: Fall of a Tycoon

    Comedic prodigy Mark Humphries’ brilliant and engaging bio-pod of Skase - Australia’s greatest Conman, could not have been more superbly written - proliferated with genius word-play at the expense of the pretty-boy protagonist and his money-hungry minions.

  • “This bane in Spain would not be on the plane.”

    The intriguing tale of Christopher Skase, I absolutely loved it! The blend of storytelling and humor kept me engaged from start to finish. I highly recommend it!

  • Great Skase story

    Skase is a brilliant story and the podcast has fantastic access to experts and commentators. It’s a shame it’s let down by a sarcastic and condescending narration style that I find really annoying.
